- Klamath Indians of Southwestern Oregon, Gatschet in Cont,
N.A. Eth., II, pt. 1, XXXIII, 1890.
Derivation: From a Pit River word meaning “lake.”
The tribes of this family appear from time immemorial to have
occupied Little and Upper Klamath Lakes, Klamath Marsh, and Sprague
River, Oregon. Some of the Modoc have been removed to the Indian
Territory, where now reside; others are in Sprague River Valley.
The language is a homogeneous one and, according to Mr. Gatschet who
has made a special study of it, has no real dialects, the two
divisions of the family, Klamath and Modoc, speaking an almost
identical language.
The Klamaths’ own name is É-ukshikni, “Klamath Lake people.” The
Modoc are termed by the Klamath Módokni, “Southern people.”
Tribes
Klamath.
Modoc.
Population.—There were 769 Klamath
and Modoc on the Klamath Reservation in 1889. Since then they have
slightly decreased.
